Stamp it with style

February 5, 2013    Wedding Planning    Leave a comment

Now, we’ve talked stamps before here in Libby Land  ( see here and here ) … but NEVER quite like this!!

I was Etsy-ing… YES, it IS a word… and I came across these little babies:

Personalized face stamps  sold by lilimandrill 

Custom / double face / handcarved rubber stamp

Seriously, how fun would it be to stamp your face on the back of your Save the Dates, shower invites, programs, favor tags, thank yous or every single post-it pack in the office?!

How about giving them as an adorable wedding or anniversary gift?  Really… who wouldn’t want one of these??

I know I do!!!!  Where would you stamp yours??

5 Etsy Faves: ring pillows

August 1, 2012    Wedding Planning    Leave a comment

I am an Etsy fiend!  THERE, I said it!!

If you aren’t familiar, Etsy is a marketplace for homemade and vintage items. I L.O.V.E.  both, so I am always over there OHHing and AHHing.  There is soooo much to be admired.  I spend at least an hour a week, browsing around.  I just can’t help myself!!!  The gorgeous handmade items blow me away!  People are SOOO talented!! And being the DIYer I am, I appreciate anything made by hand!!

In order to make my online window shopping seem a little less crazy, I thought it would be fun to share some of my finds here.  If I do that, my item browsing doesn’t seem as much as an obsession as it does… “research”.  Well that’s what I’ll tell my husband anyway!! :)

For my first edition of what I’m calling, 5 Etsy Faves, I “researched” ring pillows! Well, not actually “pillows” because the are a bit too traditional for my taste, but ring pillow alternatives.   I gotta tell you there are so many AHdorable options it was difficult to narrow my favorites down.  BUT I did it and here they are…..

Well, there ya have it… MY 5 Etsy faves.  Do YOU have an Etsy favorite I didn’t feature here?  How about an item you’d like to see on a future “5 Fave” post??  I’m currently taking requests!!! :)

Have a happy day,

♥ Heather 

 

Loving Lovebirds

March 13, 2012    Etsy, Invites, Lovebirds, Outdoor Wedding, Wedding Cake    2 comments

This past weekend I spent a little time soaking up some much-needed Vitamin D (can you say READY for spring?!). The sun was shining, the birds were chirping…which got me thinking, What better way to incorporate the outdoors into your wedding than with a couple of romantic-yet-lighthearted lovebirds? These little guys/gals are a fun touch for the nature-loving bride. Even for someone like me who doesn’t LOVE real-life birds (okay, so maybe I’ve had a few too many close encounters with dive-bombing seagulls), you can’t deny that lovebirds make some pretty adorable save the dates, invitations, RSVP cards and thank yous:

Etsy is loaded with super cute lovebird-themed invitation suites, in pretty much any color/style you could ever want…

You always see post that say “A DIY Wedding”, I am just waiting for the day to see “An Etsy Wedding” because you really can get everything you need from Etsy and it’s so fun to shop there. Below are some of my latest finds.

I love this little clutch, these would be perfect for bridesmaids and something they could use again.

Searching Etsy

I have to admit, I am a searcher. I love putting in a term and seeing what the World Wide Web has to offer. So on Etsy today I searched “wedding”, here is some of my favorite results.

A custom stamp for the return address of your invites for only $18.95, yes please. Get your return address print can really add to the cost of your invitations.

Found on Sugar Letter

Who doesn’t love pearls?

Found on The Peach Tree

For people who actually love their mother in law….

Found on Peace Crane Greeting

Never thought about looking for invitations on Etsy, there are lots of options.

Found on Designerpi

I heart stickers; these would be great for OTT bags.

I frequent Etsy often….a little to often ;)   I came across these cute ring bowls.  What a great display for your rings that can be reused for jewelry after your big day.
